You chip should be more than 8MB! upload image for your bios chip or write what's written on it. Also try to read your chip again.

Oh dear, maybe I've been clipping onto a chip that does something else…
After careful disassembly and examination of the MB this was the only seemingly relevant chip I found.

Is not it. Find any chip with or without pins with 128 on the face of the chip, for example 25Q128V.....

I found a suspicious looking Winbond chip in the right location and reading it at the moment... 32mb too!

OMG, you're an actual living legend, it booted and has come back to life!!

I can't believe it and never thought I could actually fix it along with soldering tiny wires to the bios chip!

Hello there!
I got a ThinkPad X1 Extreme (1st gen), that won't Post - just a black screen.
Since I was unable to extract the BIOS from the update I can download, I would be extremely happy, if someone could try to clean my BIOS for me.

Model: 20MF-000RGE
S/N: R9-0RPLRA

Please find the original dump attached.

Thanks for the quick help!
Sadly, it did not change the behavior.

The Machine does appear to be RAM-Training (one reboot after CMOS-Reset).
Then it stays on, CPU gets warm, fans spin up, but the screen stays off (external screen also).
When I take RAM out, I get a peep-code, but the with RAM installed, there is not beep code and also no diagnostic LEDs on the Keyboard.
I guess, the CPU might be braindead or is there something more than can be done to the BIOS?

Good day. Guys, help me with the BIOS.
Laptop
Lenovo ThinkBook X1 Extreme 1st 20MF
S/N: R9-0SP28W


The BIOS is damaged. I found the BIOS in this thread and installed it for myself. The laptop started and works fine, but I had a password on the BIOS and on the downloaded correct BIOS there is also another one.

Is it possible to fix my old BIOS? Or remove the password from what is posted here in this thread. Bios 32Mb.

I beg you to help me, I can't choose boot options to launch other systems

Thank you very much in advance
